How to add conditions in decision table

Manju Shree — Thu, 02 May 2024 05:52:28 GMT

Hi,

I'm a new to creating decision tables and I have a requirement where I need to use decision table to configure the requirement.

Requirement: Only a product owner and their respective delegates should be the assigned to for testing scrum task. For a particular story, the testing (type is testing) scrum task should have a validation where the product owner or their delegates should only test the requirement of the story. The assigned to should only be product owner or their delegates.

I have created a decision table and given the inputs as story, assigned to of scrum task, product of the story, owner of the product. (PS: Not sure if its the right inputs)

In the condition, I need to validate as assigned to == product owner or its delegates. But I'm unable to check this condition.

Kindly provide inputs to achieve this functionality by only using decision table.

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards,

Manjushree

Hi @Manju Shree ,

First , Define Inputs:
know what is required for your decision table you would need to include the belwo to create a decision from decision builder

Story
Assigned To (Scrum Task)
Product of the Story
Owner of the Product
Add more inputs if you need ?

Next , Set the Conditions:
- Assigned To == Product Owner OR Assigned To is a delegate of the Product Owner. (as per your condition)
  
  Define the Actions:
  - Define the actions to be taken In urs case, the action could be to allow testing or reject testing.
    
    Create Decision Table:
    - Create a decision table with rows representing different scenarios and columns representing the inputs, conditions, and actions.
    - Populate the rows with different combinations of inputs and define the expected outcome based on the conditions.

Here's an example of how your decision table may look:

Story	Assigned To	Product of Story	Owner of Product	Condition	Action
Story1	John	ProductA	Alice	FALSE	Reject Testing
Story2	Alice	ProductA	Alice	TRUE	Allow Testing
Story3	Bob	ProductB	Bob	TRUE	Allow Testing
Story4	Carol	ProductB	Bob	FALSE	Reject Testing

I hope this helps....

Hi @Sohail Khilji

Thanks for your input and it was very helpful.

Also, I would like to know if we can dynamically check the values instead of hardcoding them. Product owner of any product == assigned to or product owner != assigned to.
